Excerpt from July 13 LA Time Opinion piece by Senator
Tom Harkin. "96% of associate-degree students at for-profit
colleges take out loans, compared with only 38% of community college
students. And for-profit college students are eight times more
likely to graduate with a debt larger than $20,000..."

After becoming a national record-setting wide receiver at Pasadena City
College under Coach Marguet Miller, now the Wildcats Head Football
Coach, David Reed enrolled at West to complete his Associate Degree
needed to gain NCAA eligibility. He then transferred to the University
of Utah where he earned national recognition at their BCS bowl game.
Last month, Reed realized his life-long dream of joining the NFL when he
was drafted in the 5th round by the Baltimore Ravens. Other professional
football players from West have included Rashied Davis, Keyshawn
Johnson, and Hall of Famer, Warren Moon.

The
West Los Angeles College women’s track and field team finished 3rd
Saturday at the Southern California Championships at Saddleback College.
The men's team finished in 6th place. (Mt. Sac won the
women's title, and Cerritos was second. Riverside won the men’s
championship.) Both the men’s and women’s 400 meter Wildcats relay
team’s won the titles. This is the first time in 10 years that the men
and women from the same school won the relay. Considering neither team
was ranked in the SoCal top 20 in at the beginning of the season, it was
a huge day for the Wildcats track and field program.

The Southern California
Regional Championships also is the qualifying meet for the state meet.
The top-four finishers in lane races and top six finishers in distance
and field events advance to the California State Championships at
Antelope Valley College on May 21st and 22nd. The
heptathlon is the first event and begins at 10 a.m., on both Friday and
Saturday.

The
California Credit Union ATMs will be removed from LACCD
campuses. The District does not have a contract with the
California Credit Union. The ATM at West is at the corner of
A-13 and will be removed on June 30, 2010. In its place,
there will be two new ATMs. One will be located in the
Bookstore and the other will be located in PAWS. These ATMs
are part of the District’s new system for the distribution
of financial aid to our students. We have been assured that
they will also be capable of providing cash withdrawals (for
a fee) just as any other ATM. They will not offer other
banking services.
